CINCINNATI — The Reds activated third baseman Edwin Encarnacion from the 60-day disabled list Friday to replace infielder Danny Richar, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Wilkin Castillo, who had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, was moved from the 15-day DL to the 60-day to make room for Encarnacion on the 40-man roster.

Encarnacion, who'd been on the disabled list since April 28 with a chip fracture in his left wrist, was not in Friday's starting lineup. He was hitting .127 with one homer and sixRBIs in 19 games when he was injured.

He hit .270 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 11 rehab appearances at Triple-A Louisville.

Richar was injured when he slid headfirst into home in the third inning of Cincinnati's 1-0 loss to Arizona on Wednesday. That was his seventh game since being called up on June 20.

The biggest series to date and we get associated press articles in the DDN? No knock on Hal, as his days off are well deserved, but the newspaper can't send someone else? No wonder the paper is a shell of it's former self. Guess I need to check out the Enquirer.
